7457 – Maʿmar reported to us from al-Zuhrī from Ḥumayd b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAwf from Abū Hurayra that a man came to the Prophet صَلَّىاللهعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَ and said: O Messenger of God, I have been destroyed.

He said: And what is that?

He said: I had intercourse with my wife in Ramaḍān.

He said: Do you find a slave (i.e. to emancipate)?

He said: No.

He said: Are you able to fast for two consecutive months?

He said: No.

He said: So feed sixty poor people.

He said: I do not find (the means) O Messenger of God.

He said: So the Prophet صَلَّىاللهعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَ brought an ʿaraq in which were dates. And the ʿaraq is the miktal (a basket made of palm-leaves in which dates are carried).

He said: Go and give charity with this.

He said: To someone who is more impoverished than me? For by the one who sent you with the truth, there is no people of a house between its two stony tracts (i.e. Medina) who are more in need of it than us.

So the Messenger of God صَلَّىاللهعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَ laughed, then he said: Go with it to your family (or: wife).

al-Zuhrī said: That was only a permission for the man specifically. Were a man to do that today, there would be no way out from rendering the atonement (al-takfīr, usually means declaring someone to be an unbeliever, but in this case appears to refer to the kaffāra, atonement, the person would have to render).

7459 – Ibn Jurayj said: ʿAṭā al-Khurāsānī reported to me. He said: I heard al-Musayyab saying: A Bedouin came to the Prophet صَلَّىاللهعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَ striking his chest and plucking his hair saying: The furthest away has been destroyed.

So the Prophet صَلَّىاللهعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَ said to him: What is your condition?

He said: I had intercourse in the month of Ramaḍān.

He said: Are you able to emancipate a slave?

He said: No.

He said: So gift.

He said: Do you have in mind the sacrificial she-camel (al-juzūr)?

He said: It is not but it.

He said: And I do not find it.

He said: Sit.

He said: So he sat and a man came with a miktal in which was twenty ṣāʿ of dates or fifteen ṣāʿ. He said to the Bedouin: Give charity with this.

7465 – Maʿmar from Qatāda from al-Ḥasan. He said: If one had intercourse with his wife in Ramaḍān, then he ate and drank, the atonement (al-kaffāra) is single, as the atonement of swooning (i.e. orgasm).

7466 – Maʿmar from Ayyūb from a man from Ibn al-Musayyab regarding the one who has intercourse with his wife in Ramaḍān. He said: The Prophet صَلَّىاللهعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَ said to him: Emancipate a slave.

He said: I do not find (the means).

He said: So give charity by something.

He said: I do not know it but that he said: So do qaḍā of a day in its place.
